I made the choice to become a step-mom on 4/7/2014. On 11/14/15 I made an oath to both my husband and Olivia to love, protect, care, guide and support Olivia for the rest of her life.

I went with my friend to this dojo and while I was there I witnessed my friends five year old brother get yelled at for falling. After getting back up the sensei made him, a FIVE YEAR OLD BOY, run in place for three minutes. There’s also a kid with autism who tends to sway in class. This CHILD was yelled at and doesn’t have as much control over his mind as the other kids, and I don’t mean yelling, I mean screaming. These children don’t completely understand what is wrong or right. The sensei doesn’t let the kids go to the bathroom during class. These children’s brains aren’t fully

My son has been really enjoying his experience with Taekwondo. Master Mercer and his staff are top notch instructors. They teach self discipline, confidence, respect, and giving back to the community. There is a reason they're the oldest martial arts school in Wilson, what they do works. I would highly recommend giving them a chance.

My daughter (11) had the opportunity to train alongside Master Mercer. She arrived with previous experience. In order to determine her ranking, he took the time to evaluate her technique and placed her where appropriate; he didn't just hand her a belt of equivalent ranking. This quickly revealed Master Mercer is a just and respectable instructor and is genuinely concerned with his students' success in his school.

I earned my black belt here when I was young. My six year old son has now started his journey here and loves every second, he looks forward to class and practices at home constantly. Great place for both you and your kids to practice the fundamentals of martial arts while having a great time engaging in physical activity.

Master Matt Mercer and the Wilson, NC branch of Dong's Martial Arts have been wonderful for our children. Our middle child is now approaching black belt level, and has learned perseverance, coordination, and many other skills he will use for the rest of his life. (Our oldest has already attained this honor) Great program; great branch! Thank you Dong's Martial Arts!!!

I have been an adult student at Dong's Martial Arts in Wilson for 6 years now. All students are challenged both mentally and physically to do the best that they can in an environment that is supportive. There is a willingness between students to help each other achieve their goals. Students of all ages can benefit from the exercise and discipline at our school. Also, we are taught self-confidence to stand up for yourself and to ultimately chose the right thing to do.
